<p>FLASH LAMP ARRAY HAVING ELECTRICAL SHIELD A photoflasr lamo array comprising a housing alongated vertically and containing alongated flash lamps lying horizontally and stacked vertically, the flash lamps having lead-in wires extending from ends thereof near the sides of the housing and connected to a circuit board located behine the lamps. Aconductice sheet-like shield is positioned between the circuit board and the rear of the housing and is contoured to have side portions extending forwardly in between lamp ends and the sides of the housing. The front surface of the shield is both electrically-conductive and light-reflective, with being positioned on the front surface but not extending to the side portions of the shield. By increasing the light-reflective surface of the shield in this manner, there is increased light output obtained from the lamp array.</p> |
